            <code class="function">glBindVertexArray</code> binds the vertex array object with name <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em>. <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em>
            is the name of a vertex array object previously returned from a call to <a class="citerefentry" href="glGenVertexArrays"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenVertexArrays</span></span></a>,
            or zero to break the existing vertex array object binding.
        </p><p>
            If no vertex array object with name <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em> exists, one is created when <em class="parameter"><code>array</code></em> is first bound. If the bind
            is successful no change is made to the state of the vertex array object, and any previous vertex array object binding is broken.
